Jesse Yarbrough, President of Wifinity Internet Interview - 2023 Austin County Fair

Jesse Yarbrough, President of Wifinity Internet Service, discussed the local internet service provider's offerings and future plans. Wifinity provides an annual-contract wireless internet service, currently promoting a limited-time free installation. Monthly costs, contingent on the chosen package, range from around $50 to $150. Yarbrough emphasized the technical nuances of their service, highlighting the difference between latency and bandwidth. While they are actively working on leveraging newer technologies to enhance throughput — potentially achieving gigabit speeds — the company places significant importance on reducing latency for improved communication quality. Yarbrough also mentioned that while many customers might be familiar with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, there are newer technologies on the horizon that promise better performance. A standout feature of Wifinity is its strong local focus, ensuring customers receive localized service, thus avoiding the hassles of dealing with distant or overseas call centers. Furthermore, the company is committed to community investment, primarily aiming to hire locally. As they grow, Wifinity aspires to promote from within, fostering employee satisfaction and loyalty. The discussion wrapped up with a recommendation for Austin County residents to consider Wifinity for their internet needs.
